guided by love and vision and being wholly what we are made to be, as best we can - what a blessed invitation Life is - to see how our attitudes and perspectives emit a co-creative energy into our shared landscapes and connections. to yield that power with care and discernment for what we need, yes, but also for more than our-selves. What does EAGLE make you think of or symbolize for you? Feeling grateful and centered as I move into a weekend of work I love. Hope you are, too, Creative friends! ⁠{this is another 20 minute study from my RELATE practice a few years ago. RELATE is a contemplative creative practice circle happening now. We just started - you can still join us (or take a solitary journey with the content).} ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #creativepractice #supportlivingartists #workingartist #intuitiveart #visualpoetry #artheals #artwithfeeling #allthefeelings #creativeconnection #creativeliving⁠ ...⁠ #natureart #everythingisconnected #creativespirit #artistherapy #expressiveart #beinghuman #soulwork #animaltotem #birdtribe #eagleart #practicegratitude⁠ ...⁠ #artjournaling #artcommunity #artmeditation #contemplation #waterislife #creativeenergy #meditationart #dailypractice #practiceinpresence⁠
a meditation page. simple and such sweet company lately, this spread. much of my time with a prayer page or contemplative painting can look like zoning out, but is a form of being with, imagining into and finding space within. the creative process - and our creative energy - is so much more than just what is measurable in the world of matter(s) and physical senses. it is first a returning to the place where no-expectation greets what-Is with loving acceptance, and in that, makes anything possible, and a deeper sense of belonging, holding, and setting-free inevitable. it is a form of communion, an invitation to center in right relationship as the created, creating, within the call and flow of being fully human in the rivers of mysteries we are not meant to control.⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #artjournal #artjournaling #mixedmediaart #visualjournal #journalart #dreamscape #liminalspace #meditationjournal #dailypractice #artpractice⁠ ...⁠ #visualjournaling #contemplation #visualpoetry #visualstory #sensitiveartist #creativesoul #soulful #seeker #makeart #trusttheprocess #visionaryart ⁠ ...⁠ #practiceinpresence #lifeisart #artheals #creativefreedom #creativework #artwork #artpage #paintedpage #prayer⁠

Such sweet+rich wisdom from Turtle. Have you ever noticed how swift they can be (usually when you look the other way)? What does Turtle teach or make you think of? RELATE starts today with the Welcome + Intro, and how to prepare for the 8 week contemplative Creative Practice exploration. Join us, we dive into our practices next week...⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #artjournal #artjournaling #mixedmediaart #visualjournal #journalart #creativejournal #journalprompt #dailyjournal #dailypractice #artpractice⁠ ...⁠ #visualjournaling #journaler #animalmedicine #visualstory #sensitiveartist #creativesoul #soulful #seeker #trusttheprocess #turtleart #animalmedicine #everythingisconnected⁠ ...⁠ #practiceinpresence #lifeisart #allmyrelations #creativefreedom #creativework #artwork #artpage #paintedpage⁠
What does Bear teach or symbolize for you? ⁠Do you have bears where you live? We have them around our house and neighborhood every year, and I actually adore their quiet, primal presence in the midst of all the human energy and buzz. {This was a 20 minute play-study in sync with my online contemplative Creative Practice program RELATE - which begins tomorrow and runs for 8 weeks. Grounding reflection on how to be in harmonious relationship coupled with your favorite form of creative practice right now. Two ways to join - via my patreon community or as a solitary practice. Join in for the exploration!}⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #creativepractice #animaltotem #workingartist #intuitiveart #bearmedicine #artheals #paintingstudy #allthefeelings #creativeconnection #creativeliving⁠ ...⁠ #natureart #everythingisconnected #creativespirit #artistherapy #expressiveart #beinghuman #soulwork #knowyourself #introvert #arthealsthesoul #archetypes⁠ ...⁠ #artjournaling #artcommunity #artmeditation #contemplation #signsandsymbols #creativeenergy #meditationart #dailypractice #practiceinpresence⁠ ⁠

simple morning page detail before finishing up the first week's content for RELATE, prepping a birth chart reading, and then cleaning up the studio table for our first patron Creative Practice Circle hour tomorrow (and so I can finish up some paintings later this week).

an 'everyday' visual journal page, river rocks and paint smooshes, impressions of feelings in colors passing peripherally by. my everyday pages are ones i begin with no intention, and touch in with, over time - adding a mark here or there. sometimes in succession. sometimes i forget about them and come back weeks or months later. these pages are contemplations that move through and with my awareness in life - simultaneously random and meaningful, connections between what might otherwise seem unconnected. there is no rule that says your Creative Practice has to happen in a sequence, or a start-to-finish discipline, at a certain pace or productivity, or make some sort of aesthetic sense to anyone else either. you are the thread of connection, the spirit of creative expression, however abstract or direct you choose to be in your visual language and play. your touches and marks, lines and textures, your playfulness and deliberations are the poetry forming evidence of your experience and the messages coming to you, that they may come through you. ... #artjournal #artjournaling #mixedmediaart #visualjournal #journalart #creativejournal #dailyjournal #dailypractice #artpractice⁠ #visualpoetry ...⁠ #visualjournaling #journaler #handmadeart #sensitiveartist #creativesoul #soulful #mindbodyspirit #makeart #trusttheprocess #contemplation #meditationart ...⁠ #practiceinpresence #lifeisart #bookart #creativefreedom #creativework #creativepractice #artpage #outsiderart #artislife
